Romance
Boasting a prime spot on the exclusive Côte d'Azur - an area characterised by beauty, charm and romance - Byblos is an unrivalled destination for your next couple's retreat. Stroll hand-in-hand through the hotel's extensive lavender gardens, or take to the dramatic blue waters on a private yacht, stopping at a hidden cove for a gourmet picnic and uninterrupted quality time together. Harmonise with indulgent side-by-side treatment in the Private Spa Suite, designed for two, before a glass of wine overlooking the striking sunset, followed by an exquisite meal at a candlelit table for two.
Culture & History
In Byblos, Lebanon in 1960, founder of the hotel, Jean-Prosper Gay-Para, admitted his infatuation with Brigitte Bardot and his desire to build "a palace worthy of the Thousand and One Nights, unique in its kind, from one side of the Mediterranean to the other." With utter success, the doors of Byblos have been crossed by an array of the astoundingly rich and the truly celebrated - including Bardot herself, Cher, and Mick Jagger, for his honeymoon, to name just a few. Meanwhile in glamorous St-Tropez, the gracefully converted 16th-century chapel, Musée de l'Annociade, showcases an impressive collection of modern art, whilst the Citadelle de St-Tropez was built in 1602 to defend the coast against Spain.
